A Portrait and Biographical Record of Boone, Clinton and Hendricks Counties, Ind.,
A.W. Bowen, Chicago, 1895, pages 270:
WILLIAM G. CORY, an intelligent and highly respected farmer of Jefferson township, Boone county, Ind, , was born in Clarke county, Ohio, May 20, 1832, and is a son of Nathan and Mary (Smith) Cory, natives of Ohio and New Jersey respectively, and of English descent.
The pedigree extends so far back in Albion's isle that, in order to give the reader an idea of its antiquity, the writer must resort to the simple but strong, terse, language of the Scriptures: William Cory was born in England about the year 1400; William begat Thomas; Thomas begat Robert; Robert begat John; John begat Thomas, who was born July 3, 1510; Thomas begat John, who came from England to America in 1600; John begat Elnathan; Elnathan begat Jeremiah, who was born in New Jersey; Jeremiah begat Noah; Noah begat Nathan; Nathan begat William G., the gentleman whose name opens this sketch.
Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Cory came to Boone county, Ind., in 1851, and here Mrs. Cory died in March, 1879; Mr. Cory still survives and has his residence at the home of William G. Of the four children born to Nathan and wife two only are living — Noah and William G.
William G. Cory received an excellent training as a farmer and materially assisted on the home farm until his marriage, January 9, 1855, to Miss Margaret E. Stephenson, to which happy union have been born four children, viz: James S., Mary L., wife of William A. Peterson; Iva R., wife of Benjamin F. Moore, and Walter M. Some ten years after his marriage Mr. Cory responded to his country's call and enlisted, in March, 1865, in company B, Capt. Hebb, One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiment, Indiana volunteer infantry. He served faithfully and valiantly in all the inarches, skirmishes and engagements in which his company participated, until his honorable discharge, August 8, 1865. In politics he is a republican, and has served his fellow-citizens as assessor of his township for a year, deeming it to be a part of his duty as a citizen so serve in public office when called upon to do so, and not for the sake of the meager compensation the office affords. He is a member of the G. A. R., his post number being 184. With his wife he is a member of the Presbyterian church, and as a church member, a citizen and kindly neighbor, has won the respect of all who knew him.
